What else we do in Stonehill Green
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
Read our pricing or what a hog roast costs.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-May events in Stonehill Green have light until about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
